America´s Abundant Lawbreakers

By

America is a wonderful place to live. The freedoms and the geographical beauty are the envy of most of the wide world. But all is not well with the American culture. And that is because of all the law-breaking going on during these modern times, and the bad decisions being made by people in high positions. Along with people in Washington making very bad decisions that put the economy on the ropes, there is political correctness, the proliferation of internet pornography, dysfunctional schools throughout America, and sixty-percent of non-Christian livers to deal with. The fact is Americans have become a large group of chronic lawbreakers, and that has gravely affected America´s culture. Here are some examples.

Recently, it has been reported there is a danger on all airlines. All passengers are strongly asked to not use their computers and cell phones on a board, and especially during takeoffs and landings. That request goes basically unheeded and causes many false readings on instruments in the cockpit area during the flight. To disobey that request puts everyone in a hazardous situation. It becomes a serious situation.

Before Mass and services in churches, the parishioners are asked to turn off their cell phones and pagers. Later on when it is very quiet during the services, cell phones and pagers can be heard ringing at a very reverent time during the Mass and service. The ringing is very audible and embarrassing as well is distracting.

Lawbreakers have made America´s highways and roadways very dangerous places. Speed limits are causally ignored. So many people drinks and drive. One schedualed traffic stop netted 87 DUI drivers during a five-hour time period. Drivers of pickups are the biggest offenders and the most rude, especially monster pickup drivers. They are habitual speeders. They will tailgate a safe driver, flash his headlights, and turn on the bright lights that cause a blinding effect, and race around the safe driver and cut very close in front of him. This happens very frequently. So does cell phone use and texting while driving go on, which causes many serious accidents. One plastic surgeon in California drove off the road and down an embankment and killed himself while texting.

Internet pornography has taken over in millions of homes and lives, and that has led to so many unspeakable sex crimes. Any sex crime is the result of laws being broken. Children as young as 12-years-old are addicted to it. It is prohibited at places of employment; yet, many workers break company laws and view pornography at work. It has taken place in government officies and in the Pentagon. Sexting is against the law. It is a direct result of the internet pornography. Thousands of teenagers, young adults, and even seniors engage in this law-breaking activity.

Law-breaking in America is a huge chronic activity. It is morally wrong. It is culturally destructive. It is costly in dollars. It costs lives needlessly. It is a clueless counterculture way of life that hurts law-abiding citizens as well.
